Organ Systems
Organ Systems
How does an organism function?
Critical Thinking: Students apply understanding of how various systems within organisms function and interact.
Adaptive Perseverance: Students explore and adapt to new information about how organisms maintain homeostasis and respond to their environment.
Collaboration: Students work together to research and share findings on the complex interactions within organisms.
What are the key systems in an organism, and what roles do they play?
How do these systems work together to maintain the health and activity of the organism?
How do external factors influence the functioning of these systems?
Students will identify the major systems within an organism and describe their functions.
Students will explain how these systems interact to support the life processes of the organism.
Students will investigate how changes in the environment can affect the way an organism functions.
Skills Demonstrated:
Students will be able to:
Asking Questions
Developing and Using Models
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
Constructing Explanations
Engaging in Argument from Evidence
Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
MS-LS1-3: Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.
MS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.
MS-LS1-8: Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.
